Question

36,200 in scientific notation

Answer 1

The goal of writing a number in scientific notation is to have a decimal number, with one digit to the left of the decimal point, followed by a⨯10 to some power. To format the number this way, divide the 36200 by 10 4 times, making it 3.62. Each division by 10 moves the decimal point to the right one digit, but in order to keep the same number, multiply 3.62 by 10
`x^(4)`.

3.62×10
`x^(4)`

Hope this helps.
